WYNYARD (Diana, 1906-1964, Actress)

Postcard photo by Marion Lewis, signed and inscribed, “Sincerely”, showing her head and shoulders in profile, 5½” x 3½”, no place, no date, circa signature in a rather dark portion

This image is from the time when Fox Film Corporation had borrowed her for their lavish film version of Noël Coward's stage spectacle Cavalcade (1933). As the noble wife and mother she aged gracefully against a background of the Boer War, the sinking of the Titanic, the First World War, and the arrival of the Jazz Age. With this performance, she became the first British actress to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress.
